Ultimately, David is a shill for the Universities who want the monopoly on teaching Creative Writing. The problem is that when you come out with a Bachelors you come out the other side trained on how to review literature.

Anyone can be trained to edit. Most of the worlds copyediting is done out of India. The economy of the future is in Ideas and Knowledge based, not skills. The old PWE course trained you how to THINK and gave you the knowledge base to know, apply, and be qualified to apply editorial judgement. You can't be an editor unless you have experience with writers, if you know about the craft, and regularly read.

Skills is a dead end. Thanks Dave.
